This video was incredibly helpful. I didn't get a new cable, I just cut off the one it came with, shortened it a bit, and resoldered them to the points. Super helpful Video!

[@softbreeze941]

Just a tip: If you are struggling with putting back the soft pads, then just use the same method as putting back a really tight bicycle tire. Use something soft and thin (wooden match for example) between the rubber lip and the plastic headphone edge and while holding on to the already in place rubber pull it so the match will just raise the rubber lip up and then after the match it it will fall automatically back into place over the plastic lip. Super easy and no struggle at all.

[@professornat]

Thanks for the Help! - A thin guitar pick/plektrum also works quite well.

Thank you for this video! After watching it, the process went very easy. I've successfully soldered the black wire, that left its place. I like this metal cable holder, how it easily gets out and in its place.

[@d2vmusic]

Thanks for this. My DT770's have a coiled cable which is now a tangled mess, I'm looking at replacing it with a straight cable from Thomann and this video is a great help in letting me know what to do.

[@CraigHlavka]

Great video with all the angles I needed, thanks for your help. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@benzoilpetroleum]

I had a minor heart attack when I tugged on the cable pretty hard when I was spinning my chair around, thanks for this in case it ever becomes fatal 👍

[@Sahih-al-Bukkaki]

tip for the earpads - use the screw driver from the insdie to push it bit by bit much easier

[@Ramog1000]

well scredriver works well but is kinda a bit too sharp, and can pierce the rubber of the earpads, I recommend something a bit rounded.

[@Sahih-al-Bukkaki]

@@Ramog1000 100%

[@GrimnirWolf]

For the earpads... might be useful to maybe use a dremel or something to create this little gap that the custom one pro have where you use that as a starting point to slide on the plastic ring around the cushions? Kind of like mounting a tire to a rim. Beyerdynamic Headphones last forever and such a mod would probably make the process of sliding on the cushions a bit easier. I already had to replace the PU leather cushions of my Custom One Pro's twice. But I appreciate that BD doesn't glue their headphones together or use any kind of brittle plastic clips. Good old fashioned screws make these headphones just so much worthier to keep and repair once a part breaks.

[@rhythmace1]

My god, what a faff! Shame they're not like Sennheisers with a plug you can just pull out and then push the new one in. A lot of hassle just because mine came with an annoying coiled cable! But thanks for the video and showing me how it should be done, so I can stop just pulling fruitlessly on the cable where it joins the headphone casing, which as I now realise, would not end well if I kept doing it, lol

[@noizreduxion2888]

Great video . Very helpful and well eplained. Thanks a lot ! I have repaired the original cable a few times and installed a generic 6,35 stereo jack but wires are so tiny they break each time a few weeks later from moving across the room. Fed up with it... Beyer got me, I will buy a new cable from them.

[@JustPete781]

I just bought a new pair because the same thing happened to the headphone jack. Looks like I’ll dig the old ones out of the trash

[@arcadely]

Hey man - nice video, thanks for sharing. I actually tried to go the resolder the plug route and, due to the weird ass cable cores they use, it's a complete pain in the ass and I just couldn't get it to work. So now I'm going with replacing the whole cable, which seems like it might work better.

[@andreasris7573]

Hi, great video! Just to let you know, my 32 Ohm BeyerDynamics have a little notch that ensures you have a conductor when you go to change the pads!

[@LAURARIOSMUSICA]

Hello, thanks for your videos. The right earphone of BayerDymic dt880 stopped working. I took it to someone to replace the headband cable. He fixed it but now it has a sound with more mids. What is the cause and how do I fix it?

[@LuisJorgeNoveloNovelo]

Thanks man, really nice video. Regards from Mexico!

[@Nocure92]

the half-metre coming from the headphone and downwards got very stiff and then eventually caused audio glitching... Might try and cut off this stiff part and resolder like you shown here. Worst case scenario I still have a pair of broken headphones. Thanks!

[@Nocure92]

Failed spectacularly xD My soldering iron apparently sucks, doesn't get nearly hot enough and I feel like you need 4 arms for this. The headphones get in the way all the time and it's so frustrating.

[@chrisstargazer5866]

Great video, can you please tell me how to fix it when ONLY ONE side is working? Thankyou in advance

[@byslowdee4293]

I got same problem left side dont working (DT 990 pro) :(

[@TheKillerZmile]

this is why u should buy detachable headset

[@mrcoatsworth429]

Try opening it, like he showed in the video, and check if one of the small cables became detached. Maybe check both sides. It's possible you can solder it back on. Or you can bring it to a repair guy.

[@mrcoatsworth429]

@@TheKillerZmile there are no DT 770s with detachable cables, unfortunately. And 770s are just the best.

my silly DT 770 Pro cable started coming out of headphone, revealing the wiring, and it's sure to snap off soon if i dont fix. stopped using them for ages, because of this, and my hopeless gluegun repair from outside. i'm now more confident to attempt a repair from inside...or maybe i'll screw it up....but soldering is not hard.

thank you very much, I broke my cable and it's pretty comfortable after seeing that it's so easy to replace it :D

[@chrisssmith92]

Easy? Lol. Easy would be simply sticking a new audio jack on, not ripping it apart and soldering the wires back together

[@raulialaruikka560]

Did you solder the connections from left to right in this order: copper, red, blue and are the connections for the other speaker soldered as copper to copper and white to blue? I am asking as the the angle for the soldered connections is not the best and I can't see it properly. My cable was pulled out from the speakers so I am wondering which order I shoulder them back. Thank you already in advance for your reply and for this video.

what is the name of the cable? i need to replace like 3 of my headphone's cables

[@darfelbrandt4256]

I've had these headphones for maybe 3 months or so and the Jack or cable are already causing major issues. For that price point I expected a lot more seeing as even the cheapest headphones I've ever purchased show more durability. These headphones sound amazing so I'm gonna look at repairing them. Would replacing the jack not be much easier? I'm pretty sure it's the jack that's causing issues though I'm not totally certain. Visibly it appears as though it's not broken or even bent. At one point I thought it wasnt the headphones at all but because all my other headphones work its gotta be the headphones.

You´ve got 2 years of guarantee, so you can let it repair by beyerdynamic.

Wow, I've had my DT 770 Pro's (80 Ohms) since December 2016 and my cable has only just started to show that it might need replaced soon. Still working perfectly and will use it till I need to replace. This is with me dropping them several times, throwing them on my bed if I want to listen to something while I drift off to sleep. Either you're maybe far too rough with your headphones or possibly got a defect set.

[@J.D_7]

Update: OK, now right ear is cutting out depending on cable position. Lasted since Dec 2016 so can't complain. Cable ordered from Polar UK £18.77, or in Europe go to Thomann. Solder iron ordered from Amazon for £15, if I use the iron for more things then I will buy a decent one if it breaks, want to keep cost down much as possible. Should hopefully have it fixed in a few days.

[@ChristyOFaghan]

there's a little plastic cable protector attached to the cup, through which the cable is threaded -- when it breaks, the cable will start to move around a lot more, hastening the process of the cable losing it's protective coating AND causing the soldered connections to loosen (leading to crackling) ~ i don't really see an easy solution to this other than finding a similar new cable protector and hot-glueing it on at the join

SebasLogic can you upload the photo how cables should be solded ?

[@ConnorCassidy]

Hey! I had one ear die (the one not directly connected to the aux cable. Any tips?

[@sebaslogic3185]

Hey! You could check if the soldering points in the left ear cup and right ear cup are still good. If you do have a multimeter then check if the power is still reaching the right ear cup. One prong on the bottom part of the 3.5mm jack (right channel power). And the other on the positive speaker connector in the right ear cup. If power is not reaching the right ear cup then check if it’s reaching the left ear cup. Where it divides the power to the right ear cup. If no power is getting there either your cable might be causing the issue. When power is reaching the right ear cup as it should then the speaker itself might be broken. But if you don’t have a multimeter then it’s going to be tough to find the problem.
